Drag to compare
Original photo on the left, industrial render on the right.
The pieces that make the difference
- Brushed stainless or polished concrete worktop
- Open metal shelves on exposed brackets
- Bevelled metro tiles with a dark grout
- Enamelled metal factory pendants
The mistake to avoid
Open shelving without coherent crockery. This style exposes everything — if your dishes are mismatched, choose solid fronts.
What it actually costs
Bespoke stainless is expensive. Polished concrete applied over an existing worktop reads similarly for far less.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Industrial kitchen right?
An industrial kitchen combines a stainless or concrete worktop, open metal shelving, a metro-tile or brick splashback and factory pendants. Fronts run dark and matte, with black steel hardware.
Does stainless steel scratch?
Yes, immediately and permanently. After a year the scratches even out into a patina, which is the intended look — but you have to accept it.
How do I soften an industrial kitchen?
With timber: a solid-oak island top or timber stools break up the hardness of steel and concrete.
